Flash synchronization: |
In Programmed auto or Aperture-Priority auto, shutter operates 1/125 to 1/60 sec. (or 1/(focal length) in use at lens focal length less than 60mm) in normal sync or 1/125 to 30 sec. in Slow Sync; in Shutter-Priority auto or Manual exposure mode, shutter fires at speed set, and when set from 1/250 to 1/2000sec., shutter is automatically set to 1/125 sec |
Automatic Balanced Fill-Flash: |
Possible with built-in TTL flash or Nikon dedicated Speedlights such as SB-27, SB-26, SB-23, and SB-16B |
Manual flash light output compensation: |
Can be controlled from +1EV to -3EV in 1/3 step increments |
Flash ready-light: |
Without flash: Blinks when using flash is recommended (with scene brightness darker than EV10 at ISO 100 or scene brightness of EV10 or higher at ISO 100 where the center portion is darker than other areas by more than 1EV) With flash: Lights up when built-in TTL flash or Nikon dedicated Speedlight is ready to fire or blinks to warn of insufficient light for correct exposure |
